“Montanans can’t trust Dennis Rehberg to hold himself accountable to Montana,” said Montanans for Tester spokeswoman Alexandra Fetissoff.
As critics blasted a lavish, four-day getaway funded by special interests to “wine and dine and golf” members of Congress, Dennis Rehberg was hoping Montanans wouldn’t notice.
“I came out of college and wasn’t ready to take over the family ranch… I kind of grew up in the environment of lobbying as well. I respect the profession.”
Congressman Dennis Rehberg admits that he relies on lobbyists to give him information about key issues, proving he values lobbyists more than Montanans.
The U.S. Senate campaign of Jon Tester today launched a compelling new TV ad highlighting the Montana farmer’s record of doing “what’s best for Montana, always.”
“Clearly the revolving door does not make me nervous,” Rehberg said in a newly released recording of a speech to the American League of Lobbyists, an organization devoted to protecting the interests of lobbyists.
Rehberg told the organization. “And I fell for it and I ran for Congress. If I had been smart I would have said, ‘nope, no, I think I’ll stay out of the political arena and go into lobbying.’”
“If Congressman Rehberg cares about Montana jobs and the men and women who drive our economy, he should pass the bipartisan Farm Bill he blocked instead of golfing and campaigning on radio shows.”
The ad, paid for by the U.S. Senate campaign of Montana farmer Jon Tester, thanks McCain for “standing with Montanans” against the U.S. Supreme Court’s unpopular Citizens United v. FEC decision.
